Y quiz\u00e1s tenga raz\u00f3n. <br \/> Pero lejos de polemizar sobre el asunto, no hay duda que Steve Jobs \u2013dig\u00e1se lo que se diga sobre \u00e9l, sus hallazgos y reinventos- contribuy\u00f3 para que el mundo avanzara a otro ritmo, tal vez de manera muy acelerada, tanto que a veces da n\u00e1usea, porque perece que nos perdemos y olvidamos de nosotros mismos y de los dem\u00e1s. En fin, que Jobs nos dej\u00f3 tambi\u00e9n unas cuantas frases, como esa que dice que \u201cser el hombre m\u00e1s rico en el cementerio no me importa a m\u00ed&#8230; Ir a dormir diciendo que hicimos algo grandioso&#8230; eso es lo que me importa\u201d.<br \/>O aquella que reza: \u201cYo val\u00eda un mill\u00f3n cuando ten\u00eda 23, y m\u00e1s de 10 millones cuando ten\u00eda 24, y m\u00e1s de 100 millones cuando ten\u00eda 25, y no fue tan importante porque nunca lo hice por el dinero\u201d.<br \/>Bien. Y se\u00f1ala que \u201cnosotros sol\u00edamos so\u00f1ar con estas cosas. Ahora podemos construirlas. Es genial\u201d.<br \/>Pero la que no tiene madre, es: \u00abCambiar\u00eda toda mi tecnolog\u00eda por una tarde con S\u00f3crates\u201d. Yo har\u00eda lo mismo.<br \/>Y como seguramente muchos ya conocen el discurso de Steve Jobs en la Universidad de Stanford durante la apertura de curso 2005, s\u00f3lo les comparto unos fragmentos:<br \/>\u201cCuando ten\u00eda 17 a\u00f1os, le\u00ed una cita que dec\u00eda algo como: \u201cSi vives cada d\u00eda como si fuera el \u00faltimo, alg\u00fan d\u00eda tendr\u00e1s raz\u00f3n\u201d. Me marc\u00f3, y desde entonces, durante los \u00faltimos 33 a\u00f1os, cada ma\u00f1ana me he mirado en el espejo y me he preguntado: \u201cSi hoy fuese el \u00faltimo d\u00eda de mi vida, \u00bfquerr\u00eda hacer lo que voy a hacer hoy?\u201d Y si la respuesta era \u201cNo\u201d durante demasiados d\u00edas seguidos, sab\u00eda que necesitaba cambiar algo. Recordar que voy a morir pronto es la herramienta m\u00e1s importante que haya encontrado para ayudarme a tomar las grandes decisiones de mi vida. Porque pr\u00e1cticamente todo, las expectativas de los dem\u00e1s, el orgullo, el miedo al rid\u00edculo o al fracaso se desvanece frente a la muerte, dejando s\u00f3lo lo que es verdaderamente importante\u201d.<br \/>Y Jobs agrega: \u201cRecordar que vas a morir es la mejor forma que conozco de evitar la trampa de pensar que tienes algo que perder. Ya est\u00e1s desnudo. No hay raz\u00f3n para no seguir tu coraz\u00f3n\u201d.<br \/>Nadie quiere morir, nos dice el de la Manzanita, \u201cni siquiera la gente que quiere ir al cielo quiere morir para llegar all\u00ed. Y sin embargo la muerte es el destino que todos compartimos. Nadie ha escapado de ella. Y as\u00ed tiene que ser, porque la Muerte es posiblemente el mejor invento de la Vida. Es el agente de cambio de la Vida. Retira lo viejo para hacer sitio a lo nuevo\u201d.<br \/>As\u00ed que lo mejor ser\u00eda irnos andando, vivir, que la muerte todos los d\u00edas nos est\u00e1 llamando.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">De cinismo y anexas<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hablando de tecnolog\u00eda, Eduardo Galeano, en su texto \u201cBreve historia de la revoluci\u00f3n tecnol\u00f3gica\u201d, publicado en el libro Espejos, escribe: \u201cCreced y multiplicaos, dijimos, y las m\u00e1quinas crecieron y se multiplicaron.
